Norway’s $1 Billion Gas Aid to Ukraine: A Smart Move, Not Charity
Following a meeting in Vilnius, Norway pledged to help Ukraine overcome a potential one billion euro winter gas deficit resulting from Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. This support builds upon Norway’s substantial existing aid to Ukraine, totaling over $4.5 billion. The agreement addresses a shortfall in Ukrainian gas production caused by these attacks, ensuring sufficient supply for the Ukrainian population. Discussions also covered broader support for Ukraine, including air defense strengthening and bolstering drone production.
